What happens when Jay-Z and Meek Mill, team up with Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey during a pandemic? Answer? $10 million toward the COVID-19 relief in U.S. prisons. Reform Alliance is a non-profit. Co-founded by Jay-Z, Meek Mill and Michael Rubin. The organization is delivering 10 million PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) to facilities across the country. Dorsey has already pledged $1 billion in relief effort to fight COVID-19, through his #startsmall initiative. A recent report on testing results for COVID-19 shows, correctional facilities have the highest number of positive cases. One of the worst is at the Marion Correctional Institution, in Marion Ohio. In a statement Dorsey said “I’m grateful Reform exists. The criminal justice system needs to change. COVID-19 adds to the injustices, and Reform is best suited to help.”
